Porsche Cayenne S hybrid

The German sports car maker today released the official pricing for its second-generation Cayenne range, which is headlined by a petrol-electric version.

The Cayenne S hybrid combines a supercharged 3.0-litre V6 (from the Audi S4) with an electric motor to use 8.2 litres of fuel per 100km.

The hybrid will be the cleanest Cayenne - emitting 193 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre – though the most fuel efficient variant of the lighter and sleeker-looking Cayenne line-up will be the $104,500 V6 turbo diesel, which boasts consumption of 7.4L/100km.

Prices have increased marginally over the outgoing Cayenne, though Porsche claims the new luxury soft-roader features more standard equipment valued at up to $12,000 depending on model.

Porsche’s flagship Cayenne for now is the Turbo, which will cost $239,900 and is powered by a 368kW twin-turbo V8. A normally aspirated V8 model, the S, costs $147,900.

Kicking the range off is a $103,500 V6 petrol Cayenne that arrives in late August along with the diesel version.
